Deaf Anthology # 549: "Citizenship"

There been a debate over the 14Th Amendment, which stated that all people born in our country are automatically citizens, is that their birthright, that's the question. Are illegal aliens taking advantages of our system, bearing children here, putting us on the spot of separating families, which morally we can't do. What is the intent of the Constitution, it restored the rights of former slaves after the Civil Wars, despite the existence of segregation. It doesn't applied to native Indians per Supreme Court decision that they are tribes of a sovereign nation with autonomy status within our frontier. It doesn't apply to children of foreign diplomats. It doesn't apply to cheap Chinese labor that laid the tracks of our railroads. It take an act of Congress to change our attitudes then. We got ourselves into this mess, is there a way out of it. The only solution I could think of is to annex Mexico. What is America's fate, a break-up along ethical lines similar to that of Yugoslavia, is our melting pot going bilingual, eventually Latinos would become the majority, threatening our Anglo/Saxon heritage. The ballot is the only way to protect our future from bullets.

This is Smokey, stay tuned for the next episode of Deaf Anthology. Good night, Deaf America!
